The weekend saw the US launch airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, with Tehran warning of ‘everlasting consequences'. Despite an emergency Cobra meeting and Luke Pollard's morning media round, we are still waiting for an answer on whether the government supports Trump's action. Keir Starmer's assured and confident position on the world stage now looks to be in peril, as he is pulled between Trump, his attorney general and the court of public opinion. Can he de-escalate?Also on the podcast, Nigel Farage delivered a speech this morning in which he announced changes to non-doms and unveiled a new ‘Britannia card' – although most of the questions afterwards centred on the situation in the Middle East. This comes after Ipsos polling gave Reform UK a record nine-point lead over the Labour party.

Corinne Fowler has never been one to shy away from straight talking.The Professor of Colonialism and Heritage at the University of Leicester made headlines for weeks back in 2020 after co-authoring a report for the National Trust on how the history and creation of many of our great houses are bound up with the history of slavery, conquest and colonialism. She was vilified in the right-wing press and accused by Nigel Farage of 'trashing our nation'.Her response does her huge credit. Instead of launching in to stoke this battle in the culture wars any further, she embarked upon a new project which became her latest book, Our Island Stories. Embracing the spirit of 'show, don't tell' the book is structured around a series of walks in Britain, taken in the company of people whose lives have been shaped by the tales the route, and the places along it, have to tell. It's a book that has won enormous praise, being described in The Observer as a 'compassionate, measured account — which does not shy away from the inevitable controversy of its subject, but never embraces easy or pat answers — [which] offers an eloquent vision of how imperialism has come to define our green and pleasant land'.We're delighted that Corinne joined James Fisher on the Country Life Podcast to tell her story, and explain more about how so many of the tales of our island nation — and how it became the country it is today— have been hidden in plain sight for generations. It's an absolutely fascinating look at a side of Britain that has been all too often overlooked for so long, from the true source of wealth creation in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries to the places across the country that were far more diverse centuries ago than almost any of us realise.Our Island Stories by Corinne Fowler is out now in paperback.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Professor Corinne FowlerEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

This week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker takes a pint-fueled tour through some of Westminster's best-known watering holes in his bid to find out what makes the best political boozer. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage explains why the Westminster Arms is his favorite pub and why his longtime friend, Gerry Dolan, its former landlord, is behind the pub's popularity. Dolan himself recounts how lager-loving politicians would race over the road to vote at the sound of the division bell, before haring back to finish their drinks, and remembers how each of the different parties under his roof would occupy various corners of his pub like tribes.  Celia McSwaine, a former special adviser to ex-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, illuminates the role of the Two Chairmen as the Treasury's designated post-Budget pub and recounts how the drinks were flowing in the immediate hours after the fateful mini-budget, before any economic meltdown had struck. Pub enthusiast James Potts, a Labour councillor in Islington and author of "What's in a London pub name?" regales Patrick with the exotic history of the Two Chairmen from the secrecy of its top room, the site of much political plotting over the years.  Andy McSmith, former Chief Political Correspondent at The Observer, joins Patrick at the Red Lion in the heart of Westminster, recounting his pivotal role in breaking the infamous story that Gordon Brown's former spin doctor Charlie Whelan had told Tony Blair that the U.K. would not be joining the Euro, from just outside the pub. Former Education and Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan returns to The Blue Boar, a discreet pub she says she hasn't been back inside since she found out there that the UK was to leave the European Union. Labour insider Sienna Rodgers, Deputy Editor of parliamentary magazine The House, meets Patrick in The Clarence, and offers her top tips on where to find Labour MPs and special advisers nowadays.  And finally Patrick visits the famous Marquis of Granby pub, where journalist and Reform supporter Tim Montgomerie and Nigel Farage's former press secretary Gawain Towler describe how the 'MOG', as it's known, is Westminster's consummate rebel pub, ideal for plotting a political insurgency during the long days of opposition.

Yusuf talks about his experiences in business and politics and outlines Reform UK's mission to fundamentally change Britain's direction. Yusuf's shares his vision for fixing broken Britain, from stopping illegal migration to rebuilding the NHS and fostering a pro-success culture. With Reform now polling at 26-27%, Yusuf reveals his optimism for making Nigel Farage the next Prime Minister and transforming the UK into a country that rewards entrepreneurship, innovation, and hard work. Zia Yusuf REVEALS: Why Reform UK's have risen in popularity, growing from 14% to 27% in polls in just 8 months. That Reform UK are close to becoming the largest party in the UK by membership. Why he believes the UK's immigration policy has become unsustainable. That Reform UK is built on a grassroots funding model, with over 90% of costs covered by membership fees and small donations, deliberately avoiding dependence on large donors to maintain independence. The party plans to eliminate income tax on earnings below £20,000, reduce corporation tax thresholds and cut regulations to boost entrepreneurship. Why he chose politics over starting another business. Why Reform UK are like a startup, disrupting established parties. BEST MOMENTS "Anyone who has been brought up in the system, Tory, Labour, that whole westminster ecosystem, will be unable to fundamentally change how the system works and that is what we have to do." "I love this country, it's given me so much opportunity. I'm going to stay and fight and I still think we can turn this around." "We've got to change the culture in this country, return our culture to one where success is viewed as a good thing. Stop hating landlords, stop hating business owners, stop hating millionaires." "We need to be clear that if you come here illegally, you will never get the right to remain under any circumstances and you will be deported to the country from which you came." "When I first came into politics... I said this is still a country where people literally risk their lives to come to, even from France. If we're not careful, we will no longer have a country that people fall over themselves wanting to come to."

The Spectator's editor Michael Gove and assistant editor Madeline Grant interview Rupert Lowe, MP for Great Yarmouth and notorious Westminster provocateur. Earlier this year, Lowe was suspended from the Reform party amid claims of threats towards the party's then-chairman Zia Yusuf, and a souring relationship with Nigel Farage. Following his political ‘assassination', he now sits as an independent MP and continues to be one of the most energetic parliamentarians in challenging the Westminster orthodoxy.During the discussion – recorded before Zia Yusuf resigned as party chairman on Thursday – Lowe diagnoses the issues that have blighted Reform and its bid to ‘professionalise'; challenges Michael on the then-Tory government's mismanagement of an 80-seat majority and its record on Covid; addresses his interview with Emily Maitlis and her questioning on the grooming gangs scandal; but admits, in spite of it all, that he would still prefer Nigel Farage to be Prime Minister over Keir Starmer.Watch the interview in full on Spectator TV.

This time around, I'm kicking off with the sport you never knew existed - underwater rugby. Flippers and salty balls! But that's not all! We'll swim out of the pool and into the political kiddie pool where Nigel Farage is making waves by not showing up - classic Farage. And as if politics couldn't get crazier, we've got Elon Musk throwing Twitter grenades at his former bestie Donald Trump. There's more drama than a soap opera, and we're here for every juicy detail.To top it all off, we'll take a peek into our listener confessions - more accurately, we don't for good reason - and dissect the nerve-wracking Hamilton by-election results that should have the SNP breaking into a cold sweat, if they know what's good for them.More info: https://richardsonsrubicon.com/rugby-goals-and-political-holes/

Dissatisfaction with the established political parties is driving a ‘tartan bounce' in Scotland for Nigel Farage's Reform UK. Far from being an English phenomenon, Reform is polling favourably with Scottish voters. There will be a by-election next week for the Scottish Parliament seat of Hamilton, in what will be Reform's first big test inside the politics of devolved government.For councillor Thomas Kerr, who defected from the Scottish Conservatives to Reform earlier this year, Reform's appeal in Scotland is no surprise. He joins Lucy Dunn to explain why he thinks the ‘sky is the limit' for Reform, why Farage is an asset to the party in Scotland and to explain Reform's current views around devolution powers.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
